Yellow Jackets Lose To Bluffton Friday In Tourney Final, 75 -62

By Bob Shraluka Bluffton’s highly rated Tigers swept to their second holiday tournament crown in succession Friday evening in the Bluffton gym, beating back every challenge of the Decatur Yellow Jackets for a 75-62 victory. The Tigers never trailed in the contest, and were never seriously threatended after the midway mark of the second quarter, although Decatur showed sparks of coming to life several time in the last half. Hartford City’s Airdales improved 100 per cent over their performance in losing to the Jackets Thursday, and soundly whacked Portland’s Panthers by a 79-66 count in Fridays consolation match. The Decatur five lacked hustle and fire in the first half and the tall Tigers swept to a 15-point half time lead on the strength of 24 points in the second quarter. Subs Spark Decatur Substitutes, particularly Dick Ortiz, Bill Conrad and Max Elliott, pepped the Jackets up in the hustle department in the second half and ouplayed the Tigers on the scoreboard by two points, but the second quarter put the mark of defeat on the Decaturites. The freethrow situation was not to Decatur’s advantage either, however, as the Tigers outscored the Jackets by only one basket from the field, but hit on 21 of 29 free shots, while the Jackets hit 10 of 15. Six-six Brad Bounds, biggest man on the floor, made more free throws than the entire Jacket team. Bounds connected on 12 of 14 chances, added to seven field goals, he topped all scorers with 26 tallies, but received ample support from Dan Taylor with 19 and Doug ...

The teams were tied at 6-6 for the first and last time, and the Tigers built a 16-12 lead which Steve Gause cut to 16-14 on a fast break from Ortiz with 30 seconds remaining in the quarter. Bounds opened the second quarter with five quick points for a 2114 Tiger lead, byt the Jackets battled back to cut the margin to 2218 on Bob' Ladd’s jump shot with 5f30 to play in the period. Bounds and Gause traded baskets and then Taylor hit a fielder and Durr popped in a pair of twopointers, as against a free throw by Martin and the Tigers held a 30-21 advantage. Bounds and Tom Luginbill upped the lead of 34-21 with a bucket each, and the Tigers were off to the races,, building their lead to 40-25 at the main intermission. Continue Assault The Parlor City five continued their assault in the third period, and Jerry Murray’s basket at the 5:52 mark ballooned the lead to 20 points, 49-29. Bill Conrad entered the fray and hit on a shot, as did Tom Maddox, as the Jackets began to whittle away at the lead. Gause’s rebound effort at the buzzer cut the Tiger lead to a stilllarge 15 points, 58-43. Gause and the other Jacket subs kept plugging away at the lead in the final eight minutes, and Elliott’s bucket on a fast break chop- : ped it to 60-49, but Durr retaliated with a jumper and Bounds hit on < a pair of charity tosses to kill any Decatur thoughts fOf a rally. Gause was by far the biggest ’ offensive gun for Decatur in coming up with his second fine game in two nights, as he tallied 20 ] points, and came up with another fine rebounding job. Maddox add- j ed 10 markers, seven coming in the last quarter. Airdales Triumph The’Dales were a completely different ball club in the consolation match than the team that was defeated by Decatur Thursday night. Led by frail Larry Arnold’s 31 tallies, the Hartford City five rolled over Portland in the second half of their match. Trailing 19-13 a,t the first quarter stop, the Airdales rallied for a 30-30 tie at halftime.

Decatur Commodores Defeat Crestview, Ohio Friday Night, 64 - 48

By Pete Reynolds The Decatur Commodores moved past the .500 mark Friday night, scoring their fifth victory in nine starts as they downed the Crestview, 0., Knights, 64-48, at the Decatur gym. A double-barrelled attack by Ed Kohne and Larry Hake paced the Commodores as they tallied 43 of the Decatur points. Highlight of the contest was the near-perfect free throw shooting of the Commodores, as they converted 22 of 23 free throws, their only miss coming after more than five minutes of the final quarter had elapsed. After an early 3-3 tie with two minutes of the game gone, the Commodores built up a five-point advantage at the end of the first quarter, 11-6. The scoring tempo picked up in the second period and Crestview took the lead for the only time in the game at 15-13 with 4:45 to play, in the stanza. A pair of foul tosses by Kohne regained the lead for George Waning’s boys and they were never headed after that, moving to a seven-point bulge, 27-20, at the half-time intermission. * The Commodores increased their advantage to 10 points at 42-32 at the end of the third bracket, and steadily increased their margin* in the final eight minutes of play. Kohne topped the Commodores with 33 loints, 13 of them on free throw-in as many attempts. Hake chipped in with 20 markers on eight fielders and four for four from the 15-foot stripe. Crestview had only one player in double figures, Dave Herminghuysen counting 16 points, half of them on free throws. The Knights hit 15 of 25 free throws as 19 personals and one technical were called on the Commodores, and 15 personals on the
